Renal segmental hypoplasia, also known as Ask-Upmark kidney,[1] is rare benign pathology of the kidney that may cause hypertension.[2]
It is also known as segmental renal atrophy.
General
- Partial renal atrophy.
- May be the cause of hypertension[3] in a younger individual.[2]
Etiology:
- Acquired versus congenital.[1]
Gross
- Focal parenchymal loss.
Microscopic
Features:
- Fibrosis.
- Lack of renal parenchyma.
